We are here to help others. Creativity is a gift I have been given. Actually, you all have it. I simply have chosen to take a life path which allows me to use my creative talents all day, every day. I must in order to be happy. It’s who I am.
And once you have lived life as a creative process, ever-unfolding, for so many years as I have done, I have come to realize, sadly, that just not everybody thinks like me. (*shocked. LOL) When I started my Creative NUDGE business and concept, ohh, so long go, I found it sad to hear people say “I’m not creative…I can’t sing…I can’t dance…Or you fill in the blanks. Everyone, without exception, is creative.
Now, more than ever before, creativity is crucial to success in the workplace, in looking for employment, and of course business, now more than ever before, rewards and works hard to recruit and retain, creative talent.
Years ago I got a call from a Visual Artist in Montreal who wanted Creativity Coaching. I sensed she was really just scoping me out, and my business, in order to do the same thing I was doing. I wanted to share, but of course, wanted to be paid for my time and talents like a good business owner must do. On that day, I did not help her.
And I will never forget her email response: “So just when did creativity become a business?” … basically she was pissed off, hurt, upset, as she had hoped I would share openly and freely of my creative talents, knowledge and wisdom that I had spent years developing, thousands of dollars in education to learn everything I had studied, and she wanted something on the phone for free? I blew it. Not a beating myself up type of “blew it” but today I can see, that I could have made a difference that day. Or did I blow it?
Every day in business I can make a difference. It is a matter of choice and attitude in every single moment.
Looking back now, of course I did not blow it. I did what I believed at that time, and I learned from that phone call, and I feel so strongly that right now, in business and in life, that we need creativity more than ever before. We need creative thinking, we need to live as if in the midst of a creative process. People are desperate for help right now, financial help, career help, help with saving their businesses. I can give thing … my knowledge.
